Yes guys, you are right. Sorry for that, I meant "flashplugin-nonfree", and 
yes, I am running squeeze. 

Besides, I personally recommend squeeze, as squeeze will be very soon becoming 
stable, and it is running without any problems on any of my systems (32-bit 
and 64-bit). IMO lenny is nowadays a little bit old, with kde3 and old kernel, 
although lenny is very well tested. The decision, which one to use, must one 
do for himself.

IMO lenny might cause more problems at special wishes, than squeeze, just 
because of outdated packages. But that is only my personal opinion.

Just ask for any help.

Have fun!
